Hey gang! I'm posting early as I need to get to bed soon with an early start tomorrow morning.

Here is my sample for Sketch #1 - I used all scrap cardstock - even the clear acetate! Only new item are the "candies" in the jar. Cricut cartridges used were Doodlecharms, Elegant Edges, Ribbons & Rosettes, CM Holiday Frames and Tags and MS Seasonal Cake Art. Embossed with Tim Holtz brick and added a few pearls/gems for embellishment.

Just thought I'd check to see if you posted the sketches before I went to bed. Great sketches and a nice #1. That an interesting embossing folder. I love how you did the top of the jar. I've never seen "candies" in the stores around me. Where did you get them?

Here are the colors for this week. I thought they had a nice "Spring" feel to them. Actually, at 82 degrees today, it's more like summer here!

Gisele,Thanks so much for Hosting this week! I had to laugh when I saw the sketches, cause today I saw #3 online and I really liked it and even printed it out for future reference....talk about coincidence!I like all three and have been practicing making flowers and I so hoped you had a sketch with flowers...thanks for comimg through!! Will get to them soon.

Dee,Great Ad Color Challenge!! Love it when we get only three colors and I DO love these..THANKS!!

Gisele, wow, you are starting us off with one very wonderful card! I love the blue and brown color combo you chose! Love all the embossing! That jar is simply wonderful! Thanks for hosting this week! The sketches look great!

Dee, love the colors you chose this week! Such a pretty color combination!

Dee – Thanks for the ad colours! I will make a card using them later on this week! The “candies” are actually called “Candi minis” they’re from a magazine “Simple cards and papercraft” from the UK that my daughter bought me recently. I live in Canada but maybe Sue knows more about them?

Turtlebug – Too funny about seeing the same sketch! Looking forward to seeing your new flowers!

Donna – Beautiful card #2 in the ad colours too – woohoo! Lots of pretty embossing too and great button flower! Don’t forget to take pics of sweet Emma and post them here after the party!

Here is my Sketch #2 – I’m still thinking of Christmas although we went from freezing cold to snow to freezing rain to melting! Very odd weather this winter! The Christmas ornaments are all from Joys of the Season. I believe frame is Elegant Edges. I used scrap paper for the ornaments and new Christmas Recollections pad for the frames.

Hi Its been so long sinse I've been here. I was so busy working on calenders for this year that I didn't really get to do much of anything else. My DH and I went to Fal this month and returned just last Sunday. So now I can get back to crafting.

This sor of looks like Sketch #1 I also have more infor on my card on my blog.

Gisele, thanks so much for hosting this week... great sketches and love your card... that jar is wonderful... and the color combo is one of my favorites. The Christmas card is great looking too... I am already behind on my Christmas cards so hope to get a few done this week. I also have 3 Valentine cards to make this week so your sketches will be great for those also.

Dee, thanks so much the ad colors... You have chosen another great combo.

Donna, great birthday card in the ad colors...like the way you did the embossing on your circles and the circle of word art.

I'm really sorry, I'm just getting to log on now. It's been a busy / tiring couple of days. We're doing a lot of purging!

Gisele: thank you for hosting and with such great sketches. Your bottle card is amazing! I love all the texture and dimensions. Love how you made the bottle and contents. Oh I think I'm scraplifting your Christmas card for that sketch. I love it!

DeeScraps: thank you for posting the Ad colors. I'm so sorry I don't always get to the Ad colors. I know we don't have to do them but I like to when I can find the papers. Gorgeous Ad color choice. I'm loving this color combination*NanaDonna*: great birthday card and I have that paper! HAH HAH! We sure have a lot of DCWV paper stacks in common

VickieBryan1: love the simplicity of your "thank you" card and those jewels are a perfect touch

Gisele I love these new sketches! Can't wait to start on them. I also love your sketch one card. .. that bottle of candies on the front just rocks in my opinion. I also love the sketch two card with all of the ornaments on there. Way to go!

Gisele - WOW love your ornament card, what a great idea for using ornaments for that sketch.

Vicky - very pretty card love the yellow and background paper.

Raquel we sure do have a lot of the same paper. That piece came from one of my very first DCWV paper stacks that I got years ago. Always loved the colors in it and when this weeks ad colors came out I knew just which paper I wanted to use.

It was my second stack! HAH HAH! I still have some papers left from that glitter stack actually. LOTS of pretty papers came from that stack

Donna...great take on the sketch and great use of the ad colors. What will you be making for Miss Emma's birthday party? Have fun and post lots of photos.

Gisele...wow, great Christmas Card and perfect for that sketch. Very clever.

Vicky...welcome back. Loved the simplicity of this card and the pretty background paper.

Bingolady....Great "boys" card. The colors worked perfect for the card. Where is the scooter from?I still cannot enlarge the cards that are attached, so I probably miss some of the details.

I started this card last week and was just able to finish today. I think it's sketch #2. The printed papers are from a new pack I bought by KC and Company, and the stamp is by Penny Black. The one corner was put through the Cuttlebug and the headband, banner and heart are popped. Flowers were bought ages ago at the dollar store. I stickled some of the edges, but I'm not sure why they look so blue-tinted in the photo.

Hi Ladies,As I mentioned in my earlier post here, I have been practicing how to make flowers cause I am so envious of all of you that post your cards with all the pretty flowers. Thanks to some Links that Raquel has shared with me, here is my first set of flowers. Now, be nice please..it is my first bunch!!

My Sketch Card #3Circles - Plantin SchoolbookEmbossing - "Victoria" CB folderSentiment - CTMH Acrylic Stamp from the "Delight" ColectionI made the flowers in 1" and 1.5" using 8 layers for each and inking the edges, misting them wih Pearl Mist and crunching and unfolding to let dry and then layered them and added Brads to the centers. Added matching ribbon and Bling to the "i" of the word "Delight".I ws SO lucky and found this paper that BingoLady gifted me a while back. The sheet was bordered and had this design in the center, so I measured and centered it to match the card size I was using.TFL!!

BingoLady - What a great scooter card for your grandson! I saw a wonderful image of it on my phone! The embossing is wonderful and the middle circle captures the qualities and activities of young boy and ties in all of the colours!

Dee – Love your card from last week! So many wonderful details! Great colouring of the girl! Nice touch to add the Stickles!

Turtlebug – Wow! I love this card! I see why you liked that sketch before I even picked it. Great flowers – can’t believe you are just a beginner!! The choice of papers is perfect and the purple ribbon is a great touch!

I did get a card made today...I thought since the weather was bad outside I would be able to get 3 done but that just didn't have happen. So here is my sketch 1 card which I made for my daughter... she will be starting a new job in the same company... her new job will be in the IT department(she will be helping others with their computer problems).

The bell and green holly background is all from Teresa Collins December 25th cartridge. I went for iridescent gems instead of the traditional red ones. I embossed the gold bell with Swirls folder and added a plaid ribbon.

WISH - Stamping Cartridge. I double layered it and used Judy Kins Diamond Glaze and added a blue gem to the letter "i".Embossing - "Houndstooth" CB folderButterfly - Martha Stewart punch. Cut from plain white cardstock and layered it three times. Used green Promarker around the edges and then used a yellow Promarker to color all over it. Added yellow/green gems to B'fly. Corners -Fiskar Corner Punch. Messed up punching the bottom right corner...so I snipped it off at an angle, popped the Butterfly with 3-D tape and covered my boo-boo...!!I used the same color ribbon on both squares but for some reason the vertical on is showing darker. Might be the sheen bouncing off the computer light when scanning it????I used my CTMH Edge Distresser around the the border of the background paper and around the border of the center blue square.TFL!!
